Not too excited about many of the matches today. Federer vs. Tomic should be fun, but I just can't stay up for those 7pm Australian time starts! The other half of the draw seems to be putting together some more interesting match-ups so far.

I would definitely watch the Simon-Monfils match, but those evening matches don't start until something like 3 am here Cilic-Seppi could be interesting, and it's an early start so that will probably be my Friday night entertainment.

Ah ok I didn't realise.
Mostly I'm looking forward to some great matches regardless, and Murray winning would be a bonus.
I find if you wish for a player to lose it can spoil your enjoyment of the tennis especially if you dislike players like the Murray's of the world who win most of their matches.
If Murray wins this AO are you going to let that spoil your enjoyment of the whole tournament? Think about it? Just appreciate the tennis and the fantastic players on show no matter who wins.
Looking forward to Djoko Wawrinka which could be a cracker and Fed Tomic.
Possible Del Po Murray match could be a classic then the meeting of them with prob Federer and lots of other goodies.
Lots to look forward to.

Good post fedex. lots to look forward to.
I wont let murray winning spoil my enjoyment if thats what you think but i will be disappointed. Its just banter alot of what is said on here I think some fans dont see it like that and take it too seriously and make loads of pro or anti threads .

Scheduling is a bit better today but I still think they're stacking the more interesting men's matches all together. Seems like they're all slated to begin around 11pm for us on the US east coast. I'm also slightly interested in Monfils vs Simon for some reason... I don't know why, because when I remember their match here from a few years ago it was one of the most boring matches I've ever seen.

Hopefully Monfils doesn't show up today and try to out push Simon. He needs to look at James Blake and Petros Sampras and how they used their athleticism and speed to attack rather than make crazy circus shots.

Good on you. So many exciting matches coming up with great players, on form, it's like tennis heaven.
I'm a bit confused because I'd like Del Po, Federer and Murray to win but they all have to meet before the final.
Obviously Murray trumps all.

Obviously man, your telling someone who played professional tennis lol.

He's still special if he retired to today without reaching his potential.

And you are talking to someone who admits he's watched for near thirty years, and played for one. I'm no pro, but I just see something in him that could be that much more if he didn't screw around like an idiot.
